Serenity

As I am writing this blog today, every delicious sip of my Cadbury's hot drinking chocolate is somehow comforting in the early morning chill, for it is not yet 07:00. You might still be fast asleep, or maybe you're on the other side of the world and just finishing a working day. We all lead busy lives, whether healthy or not, and in life's fast pace today, everyone needs a little serenity. Serenity may mean something very different to each of us. For some, it may be sitting on a mountain top, breathing in the clean air, reflecting on the dramatic view from high up. Maybe you prefer the harsh yet natural stark beauty of the desert, enjoying the silence which is almost deafening. My place of serenity is much closer, and far more accessible. I merely need to step outside and sit in my enchanted garden with my husband and our dog by my feet. Yesterday afternoon it was sunny and warm whilst sitting out in the garden; a feeling of contentment and pure serenity flowed over me, like a welcoming warm ray of sunshine and I just enjoyed being in the moment. I have been very tired of late, exhausted would be a better word, or maybe drained; but you get the idea - I'm worn out! This is when the rest of the household take over, and make supper. So what's on the menu for tonight you may well ask? Well I will just have to wait and see. 

My article in The Huffington Post this week is about April being Parkinson's Awareness Month, so please show your support and take a moment to look and pass it on to anyone you can. I wish you all a wonderful weekend and may you find your serenity and simply enjoy "being in the moment".
